Chinese Cities: Booming Growth or Doomed to Fail?

China's cities have reportedly been driving the country's
decades-long economic miracle. But behind this veneer of economic
stability lies a system of mass migration and debt that appears to
be collapsing under the weight of its own success. Join us as Tony
Saich, director of the Ash Center for Democratic Governance and
Innovation and Daewoo Professor of International Affairs, and Meg
Rithmire, Assistant Professor of Business Administration at Harvard
Business School, discuss the future of Chinese cities. Co-sponsored
by the Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation, Harvard
Kennedy School; East Asian Legal Studies, Harvard Law School;
Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies, Harvard; Harvard School of
Public Health China Initiative; Harvard-Yenching Institute; Kennedy
School Student Government; and the Social and Urban Policy
